The following comes from a wiki that I developed as part of a presentation I made at the CCCU Center for Research in Adult Learning Spring Conference last May. If you care to view the wiki that I made for the conference, the URL is http://cccuwikis.pbworks.com/. That wiki has classroom examples of teaching ideas from my teaching; wiki resources—articles and other resources to learn more about wikis; and some multimedia resources—links to sites that allow one to create content and embed into a wiki. Some of the multimedia resources are ones that we will be exploring in this workshop, and some are different.
What is a wiki?
A collaborative web site that anyone can edit who has access.
Comes from the Hawaiian language and means quick.
What can I do with a wiki to enhance learning?
Teacher ideas
Add multimedia (video, audio, graphics) to enhance course work.
Upload handouts, pictures, audio and video files.
Create course resources to which the class can contribute.
Student ideas
Set up space where students can collaborate on group projects. (Or, have students create collaborative pages in your wiki.)
Conduct online discussions.
Use as a portfolio shell.
Multiple course section support
Collaborate on and update a common syllabus
Share resources among sections
Share resources with other instructors
What are some examples?
